MAOWIT

MAOWIT, which stands for Mid-Atlantic Offshore Wind Interconnection and Transmission, is a project, sponsored by the US Department of Energy, that aims at understanding how large amounts of offshore wind energy harnessed along the US East Coast and transmitted to shore via an under-water HV/DC transmission connection affect the electric grid of the PJM (Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland) ISO. It is funded by the US Department of Energy as project DE-EE0005366.

Our UD team has been working on the WRF simulations to obtain estimates of the wind resource every 15 minutes and of the forecast errors.

Our partners at Princeton University are working on the power flow model to simulate how PJM would react to high penetrations of offshore wind.
